What kinds of writing do you do in your field/job?
"I do academic writing which is empirical research that follows APA 6 format and consists of these sections: abstract, literature, review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion, references, and appendences."
What kind of writing do you do on an average day?
"Typically on an average day the most writing I do is consisted of emails. I have 260 students this semester so I get about 100 emails a day between students and department chairs. I also try to do at least one academic writing a week."
For what purposes do you write?
"I usually write for conferences or publications. Conferences are tough because I will usually have to write a 25 page paper over the span of three months and this can be very time consuming, also both of these are very competitive."
For what audiences do your write?
"I write for people in communication. This can be a scary thing to do sometimes, because the people that I am presenting to are very highly developed in the field of communications and already know all there is to know, so, it can be intimidating at some times."
What is the title of a research article you admire?
"The title of the research article I admire most is one that I had written myself with my advisor at the time. The title of the article is Actor-partner effects in the associations between relationship characteristics and reactions to marital sexual intimacy."
What is it that you admire about this?
" We presented this paper to the NCA (National Communications Association) and to the ICA (International Communications Association) and it won a top paper reward. So, I think what I admire most about it is that I accomplished something that so significant."
What do you get out of the writing you do?
"I wouldn't say writings fun, but it is very rewarding. When I have to write a 25 page paper for a conference that takes me almost 3 months to finish, as hard and frustrating as it can be the end result weighs all of the out because you get a huge feeling of self worth and accomplishment."
